When I Was Older Lyrics - Billie Eilish

When I was older 

I was a sailor 

On an open sea 

But now I'm underwater 

And my skin is paler 

Than it should ever be 

Mhm... 

I'm on my back again 

Dreaming of a time and place 

Where you and I remain the best of friends 

Even after all this ends 

Can we pretend? 

I'm on my... 

I'm on my back again 

It's seeming more and more like all we ever do is see how far it bends 

Before it breaks in half and then 

We bend it back again

Guess I got caught in the middle of it 

Yes, I've been taught, got a little of it 

In my blood, in my blood 

Memories burn like a forest fire 

Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud 

In the flood 

When I was older 

I was a sailor 

On an open sea 

But now I'm underwater 

And my skin is paler 

Than it should ever be 

Photos 

I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never 

Seen anybody do it like I do it any better 

Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors 

Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether 

You'd really like it in the limelight 

You'd sympathize with all the bad guys 

I'm still a victim in my own right 

But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah 

When I was older 

I was a sailor 

On an open sea
